Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aerospace food packaging, specifically relating to a composite packaging box with a water-refilled top coating. Background Technology
[0002] In the weightless or microgravity environment of spaceflight, liquid or solid particles are prone to floating and spreading. Leaked food fragments can contaminate the cabin environment and even damage precision instruments. Therefore, space food packaging in weightless environments must not only meet requirements for airtightness, barrier properties, and resistance to high and low temperatures, but also minimize the risk of leakage and contamination during use.
[0003] To address these challenges, the packaging design of space food needs to consider the unique characteristics of the weightless environment. Space food utilizes refillable diaphragm technology, employing silicone rubber diaphragms to prevent leakage after water addition, thus enhancing operational reliability. Furthermore, aluminum-plastic composite flexible tubing, due to its lightweight, high barrier properties, and resistance to extreme temperatures, is widely used in space food packaging. These packaging materials not only effectively prevent food from floating in a weightless environment but also ensure the preservation of the food's nutritional components and safety.
[0004] Traditional noodle and rice bowl dishes typically use separate packaging for the main dish (noodles / rice) and side dishes (such as vegetables or meat). To eat them, the main dish must be prepared first, then the side dish packaging must be torn open and poured into the main dish container to mix. However, in a weightless, sealed environment, this open mixing method poses a serious risk of leakage and contamination. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of serious leakage and pollution risks associated with the existing open mixing method for aerospace refill coating surfaces.
[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A combination packaging box for rehydrated topping noodles, the combination packaging box comprising: an independent noodle box and a side dish package;
[0008] The dough box includes a first connection port;
[0009] The food packaging includes a second connection port;
[0010] The dough and side dishes are mixed by sealing the first and second connection ports.
[0011] Preferably, the first connection port and the second connection port are threaded.
[0012] Preferably, the dough box includes a box body and a lid film that is heat-sealed to the box body; the first connection port is located on the lid film.
[0013] Preferably, the dough box also includes a water inlet with a one-way valve.
[0014] Preferably, the one-way valve includes a valve structure.
[0015] Preferably, the water inlet is located at the bottom of the box.
[0016] Preferably, the internal outlet of the water inlet is located at the upper part of the box body.
[0017] Preferably, the food packaging also includes a film bag that is sealed to the second connection port.
[0018] Preferably, both the first and second connection ports are sealed by heat sealing film.
[0019] Preferably, the second connection port includes a rigid flange for connecting the membrane bag.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] This utility model provides a rehydrated noodle packaging box, comprising: a noodle box and a side dish package; the noodle box includes a first connecting port; the side dish package includes a second connecting port; the first and second connecting ports are sealed together to achieve mixing of the noodles and side dishes. The noodle box remains sealed after water is added, remaining completely closed during the soaking process, reducing the leakage of moisture and food odors into the compartment, avoiding the risk of burns during soaking, and minimizing heat loss to shorten the soaking time. Once the noodles are soaked, the noodle box and side dish package can be combined into a single unit through the sealed connection of the first and second connecting ports, and the noodles and side dishes can be mixed by shaking. Consumers can choose different side dishes according to their preferences; the side dishes and noodles are mixed by shaking in a sealed environment, making it convenient to use and suitable for hiking, traveling, picnics, and other similar activities.
[0022] The noodle drying method used in this invention is not limited to freezing, frying, baking, or sun-drying. The noodles and the accompanying topping are packaged separately before use. This packaging helps maintain the stability of the physicochemical properties of both the freeze-dried noodles and the accompanying topping. During use, hot water is injected into the noodle package through a one-way valve in a sealed state to soak the noodles. After the noodles have soaked, the noodle box and the accompanying topping package can be combined into a single unit. The two are then shaken and mixed in a sealed environment. This not only solves the problem of difficulty in directly mixing open foods in a weightless environment but also addresses the serious leakage and contamination risk associated with existing open mixing methods for aerospace-grade rehydrated topping noodles.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to help understand the content of this utility model.
[0031] In the current packaging of noodle and rice dishes, the main food (noodles / rice) and the side dish are packaged separately, and there is no interface between the two during the mixing process. The side dish is torn open after the noodles / rice are prepared, poured into the noodle box in an open environment, and then stirred and mixed with chopsticks, spoons, or other tools in an open environment.
[0032] This invention provides a combined packaging for rehydrated noodles with toppings. The noodle box portion of the combined packaging is sealed during the soaking and simmering process. The packaging for the toppings (noodle side dishes) can be combined with the rehydrated noodle packaging via threaded fastening. The soaked noodles can be mixed with different flavored toppings. During mixing, the entire packaging remains sealed, preventing the toppings, noodles, and broth from spilling out.
[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a rehydrated topping noodle combination packaging box includes: a noodle box 200 and a side dish package 100, which are independent of each other;
[0034] The dough box 200 includes a first connection port 4;
[0035] The food packaging 100 includes a second connection port 3;
[0036] The dough and side dishes are mixed by sealing the first connection port 4 and the second connection port 3.
[0037] The first connection port 4 and the second connection port 3 are threaded.
[0038] The dough box 200 includes a box body 7 and a cover film 5 that is heat-sealed to the box body 7; the first connection port 4 is located on the cover film 5.
[0039] The dough container 200 also includes a water inlet with a one-way valve, the one-way valve comprising a valve structure, the water inlet being located at the bottom of the container body, and the internal outlet of the water inlet being located at the top of the container body. Figure 2-4 As shown,
[0040] Preferably, the food packaging 100 further includes a film bag 1 that is sealed and connected to the second connection port 3.
[0041] Preferably, both the first and second connection ports are sealed by heat sealing film.
[0042] Preferably, the second connection port includes a rigid flange for connecting the membrane bag.
[0043] This invention provides a completely sealed box during the soaking process. The box remains sealed even after water is added, reducing the risk of scalding during the soaking period and shortening the soaking time. After the noodles are soaked, the noodle box and the side dish packaging can be combined into a single unit. Consumers can then add different side dishes according to their preferences. The side dishes and noodles are mixed by shaking in a sealed environment, making it convenient to use and suitable for hiking, travel, picnics, and other similar activities. The noodle drying method used in this invention is not limited to freezing, frying, baking, or sun-drying. The noodles and the accompanying side dishes are packaged separately before use, which helps maintain the stability of the physicochemical properties of both the freeze-dried noodles and the accompanying side dishes. During use, hot water is injected into the noodle packaging through a one-way valve while the packaging is sealed to soak the noodles. After the noodles are soaked, the noodle box and the side dish packaging can be combined into a single unit, and the two are mixed by shaking in a sealed environment, solving the problem of difficulty in directly mixing open foods during movement.
[0044] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the dough box 200 includes a box body 7, a box lid film 5, a first connecting port 4, a first connecting port covering film 12, a first connecting port heat-sealed edge 6, and a water injection part 8. The box body 7 is a cuboid, and the box body is designed with a water guiding groove (such as...). Figure 3(As shown). The water injection section 8 is integrally formed with the box body 7. The water injection section 8 includes a silicone valve 9, a water channel, a water injection inner hole 11, and a water injection cover 10. The water channel connects the silicone valve 9 to the inside of the box body 7. In use, tear open the water injection cover 10 of the water injection section 8 to expose the silicone valve 9. The silicone valve 9 has two valve structures in the middle. Water is injected inward by opening the valves of the silicone valve 9 with external force. After water injection, the silicone valve 9 uses its own elasticity to seal the two valves again.
[0045] The noodle box lid 5 is heat-sealed to install an inner threaded fastening component that communicates with the inner cavity of the box, serving as the first connection port 4. Before the noodle box 200 is used in combination with the side dish packaging 100, the first connection port 4 is sealed by the first lid 12. During use, the noodle box 200 is connected and fastened to the side dish packaging 200 through the threads of the first connection port 4.
[0046] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the food packaging 100 is a flexible package, including a second connecting port 3, a second cover film 13 heat-sealed to the upper end of the second connecting port 3, a rigid flange 2 disposed at the lower end of the second connecting port 3, and a film bag 1 sealed to the rigid flange 2. The outer side of the second connecting port 3 is provided with an external thread adapted to the thread of the first connecting port 4. In use, the second cover film 13 is torn open and secured to the dough box 200 via the threads. A longitudinal cross-sectional view of the packaged assembly is shown below. Figure 6 As shown.
[0047] The main food items are packaged in soft film bags 1, which include, but are not limited to, aluminum foil bags and high-barrier transparent retort pouches.
[0048] The noodle box 200 can be sealed by injecting hot water into the box through the silicone valve 9. After the water is injected, the noodle box 200 remains sealed. After the noodles are soaked, the lid film on the fastening component of the noodle box 200 is torn off and the side dish is torn off and then fastened together. In sports modes such as hiking, race walking, and running, the side dish in the side dish package is squeezed into the noodle box and then shaken to mix. After mixing, the noodle box lid film 5 is torn off and the noodles are ready to eat.
[0049] The present invention proposes a rehydrated topping noodle combination package that allows for arbitrary combination of toppings and side dishes; the rehydrated topping noodle combination package allows for arbitrary combination of toppings and side dishes according to personal preferences; the combination package is completely sealed during the process of simmering the noodles and mixing the noodles with the toppings and side dishes, eliminating the risk of broth leakage.
